WEATHER:Not too bad for the last day of the count. Partly cloudy skies, temps in the 30's, with a strong north wind, and flurries off and on throughout the day.
WATERFOWL: The end of the season; 4WW Scoters, 14 LT Ducks, 8 Common Goldeneye, 7 RB and 3 Common Mergansers, and 1 RN Grebe.
GULLS: We finally had some varity, with 1 Black-legged Kittiwake, 1 Thayer's, 2 Great Black-backed, 1 Ring-billed and 115 Herring Gulls.
OTHERBIRDS: The sixth Snowy Owl of the fall made a brief stop at the tip this morning, before heading south over the bay. This Owl was almost pure white, unlike the Owls from the past couple days.
Stay tuned for a final post wrapping up the 2008 fall season.
Good Birding,

I'm a 2008 graduate in Environmental Science from the University of Arizona and then spent two seasons working as a bird guide on St. Paul Island in Alaska; but this year I decided to see what the Lower 48 had to offer me so here I am in a slightly warmer location looking for basically the same birds (minus the alcids and vagrants but plus the owls and warblers).
I've been an avid birder since I was a little kid and hopefully I've learned enough in those years to hold my own with all of you brave enough to sit out on the point with me this Fall!

Tim,
I check daily. When do you give the final wrap up you mention?
With Anticipation,
